<p>Comrades, your suspicion of foul play following an absence of dispatches has been borne out. The physical office of Propaganda Station Chief Narvey and his brave allies is shut down, padlocked, demolished, burnt to the ground and apparently thrown into a live volcano.</p>
<p>Fortunately, our comrades managed to escape the enemy onslaught. Propaganda Station Chief Narvey confirms that he and his freedom-fighting essayists and bloggers have managed to escape to an undisclosed location; a secret, state-of-the-art underground base from which they can plan and execute future operations for our highly intelligent, liberty-loving mass movement. But for now, they are quite busy with getting the lights and running water to work, so it may take some time.</p>
<p>At this time, The Propagandist would like to thank the many readers, contributing writers, sponsors and others who continue to stay in the fight. Those on the front line -- <em>and you know who you are</em> -- remain an inspiration to us all. Keep up the fight.</p>
<p>Until the next propaganda dispatch, <strong>Confusion to our Enemies.</strong></p>

But perhaps there is no more cruel and twisted example than the practice in the Islamic Republic of Iran of raping female prisoners prior to their executions. <a href="http://justiceforiran.org/?lang=en">Justice for Iran</a>, an organization dedicating to combatting the systematic sexual abuse of women as a torture method in Iran, has recently released a film about the practice, entitled <em><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZyXasfj-ihk&amp;feature=youtu.be">Final Moments</a>.</em> </p>
<p>While a bit coarse and in need of a good editing polish in the subtitles, the 25-minute documentary nevertheless effectively conveys the gut-wrenching anguish still felt by relatives and friends who were made aware that their loved ones were raped prior to their executions. In some cases, former prisoners are interviewed three decades after the fact, the wounds still visibly raw. Since the Iranian regime officially denies that the practice occurs, the focus of the film is to present proof to the contrary. And for this, the organization should be commended. At the best of times, it's hard to get evidence out of an environment like Iran's, but imagine trying to get proof of crimes committed against those immediately executed thereafter. Justice for Iran manages to do so, through painstaking corroboration from eye witnesses. But it's another form of evidence that best exhibits the obscenity of the 'justice' system in Iran: that guards would sometimes take boxes of sweets, or flowers, to the homes of executed girls, informing their parents that the girls had been "married" prior to their executions.</p>
<p>The origins of the practice of raping unmarried women prior to their executions are apparently rooted in a verse in the Quran, that says that virgin girls should not be executed. Per the film, the declaration was supposedly in response to a pre-Islamic habit of burying daughters alive. Later, an Iranian ayatollah declared a fatwa against the execution of unmarried girls, at a time when political prisoners, including many women, were arriving in droves at the gates of Iran's horror house prisons. Prison authorities, rather than interpreting this as an order to actually <em>stop</em> executing unwed girls or women, decided it meant that they should 'marry' and then rape the female prisoners prior to their executions. While these women, courageous dissidents innocent of any real crime, were brutalized before being sent to their graves, the rapist guards could sleep at night secure in the knowledge that they had not violated any sacrosanct edicts.</p>
<p>It's a logic so crude that there is hardly one that better illustrates the meaninglessness of religion as a moral framework in the context of compulsory faith.</p>
<p>Because religion is not subject to the rules of evidence, there is always room for creative and widely contradictory interpretation -- the underlying <em>buffet </em>nature of religion. Religious rules can be whimsically bent and twisted, and in the hands of the misogynist, they will be twisted to their most perverse form. Thus while the ayatollahs preach a vision of a society where the patronizing theocracy protects the weaker sex, prevents lustful and lewd behaviour, and propagates a superior morality to that of the debased West, it is somehow reconcilable that innocent women are caged, tortured, forcefully "married", sexually assaulted, murdered and then the evidence of these atrocities paraded before their devastated families. Pardon me if the credibility of the Islamic Republic's religious authority comes across as absurd. It's no wonder they rely on brute force, rigged elections, and the systematic use of torture to maintain their power.</p>
<p>One of religion's few defensible arguments (and a plausible explanation for its spread in chaotic, insecure times) is that it helped civilize tribal societies, imposing a moral and ethical framework over groups of humans who were otherwise content to maim and murder each other. Religion was a way to rally the masses into some kind of order, through the threat of divine punishment, and the promise of divine reward, for those who observed the rules. Depraved humans could be tricked into behaving themselves. It's a strategy that probably worked well in 7th century Arabia. It's not working in 21st century Iran.</p>

That doesn't mean the Canucks should be forced to sit next to representatives from scumbag deadbeat nations in that august body -- particularly when those scumbag deadbeats are chairing the meeting:</p>
<blockquote><p>Well, wait just a second. The annual gathering of the UN General Assembly in New York is a yearly convention of the world’s most notorious mass murderers, rapists, torturers and war criminals, and we’re supposed to be upset that Canada is not especially popular with these monsters?</p>
<p>The contribution from Paul Dewar, the NDP’s foreign-affairs critic, was to accuse Prime Minister Stephen Harper of “isolationist grandstanding” for passing up a chance to make a speech at UN General Assembly’s opening sessions this year, “the second year in a row.” In a broadside published in the Globe and Mail’s Tuesday editions, Dewar wrote: “It’s embarrassing that the prime minister apparently can’t be bothered to show up, stand up, and speak up on behalf of Canada.” The prime minister’s no-show “fits into a pattern of disengagement and withdrawal from the international community — a pattern that has weakened Canada’s reputation and influence abroad.”</p>
<p>Never mind whether effective international engagement is really just a matter of being seen at all the right UN venues and making speeches and swishing around and being boring and fastidious about Canada’s “international reputation,” whatever that’s supposed to mean.</p>

<blockquote><p><strong>There is nothing anyone can do to prevent suicide bombers hitting civilian populations</strong>. The slaughter of Christians in Peshawar this weekend showed that wherever crowds gather they are vulnerable to any group with a brainwashed youth and a bomb. It might be sensible to discourage like-minded crowds from gathering in one place, be they co-religionists or party faithful or merely the wealthy.</p>
<p>The modern urban obsession with celebrity buildings and high-profile events offers too many publicity-rich targets. A World Trade Centre, a Mumbai hotel, a Boston marathon, a Nairobi shopping mall are all enticing to extremists. <strong>Defending them is near impossible. Better at least not to create them. A shopping mall not only wipes out shopping streets, it makes a perfect terrorist fortress, near impossible to assault.</strong></p>
</blockquote>
<p>Don't build anything anymore because terrorists might blow it up. Sounds logical.</p>
<p>I'm still kind of in favor of fighting back, but I guess I'm just naive.</p>
